The World’s Longest Fence
Extending from Jimbour, Queensland, to the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, the Dingo Fence runs a staggering 5,614 kilometres across three states, making it the largest fence in the world. Completed in 1885, the fence was built in an attempt to keep dingoes away from fertile land in the southeast corner of Australia and to protect flocks of sheep grazing in southern Queensland. The fence has been fairly successful, although holes have been found along the fence line, and these days feral camel have damaged several sections in South Australia. The Dingo Fence shouldn’t be confused with Western Australia’s Rabbit-Proof Fence.
